Hi,

I try to implement ldaps with xampp for Windows, with no success.
Where can'I find documentation about using ldaps with xampp for Windows ?

Best regards

I always referred to the php.net LDAP functions pages http://php.net/manual/en/ref.ldap.php and got most of my info from there. I will say that there is one aspect of LDAP that doesn't really work well in PHP and that is subtree searches against a W2K3 Active Directory. For whatever reason, PHP LDAP doesn't chase referrals properly which means that you might successfully connect to and bind to domain.com, but a search for userprincipalname=j* will fail if the users whose account names start with J are in a subdomain DN, like allthejs.domain.com

A tool that I found to be VERY helpful in making sure I knew I could even connect to the LDAP server was LDP.exe, a free tool you can find on the MS site. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/d ... laylang=en

ALso, I just realized you're trying to do ldapS. That's brave. One stumbling block for me was that it seems you DO need to connect to the thing using ldap_connect('ldaps://domain.com', 636); Also, make sure you have the ldap module enabled in php.ini, as well as the ssl module.

I hope that's a good start. Plug away at it and if you have further specific questions, maybe I can help.

Hi,

Many thanks you for your answer.
The Ldap I want to use is the corporate Ladp of my compagny which is not an MS AD but a x500 Ldap.
Actualy I use a ldap (not ldaps) connection with success but for security reason I want to use ldaps.
Ldap module and ssl module are enable on my Xampp server.
I have 2 certificats, one is a Root CA certificat and the other an authentification certificat.
I don't know where to put these 2 certicats in my Windows Xampp server.
I don't know what to configure in my Windows Xampp server.

Best Regards

Either get a certificate and key from your CA or convert their downloadable certificate to a CRT and a key file using OpenSSL and the pks12 utility. Sslshopper.com has articles on exactly how. One you have the files, the go in xampp/apache/conf/ssl.xxx directories. You will then restart xampp... No confit changes should be required, but if you want to learn about the way it's configured, open xampp/apache/conf/extras/ssl.conf or something similar.
